Chapter 498 - A new mission (2/2)

“Do you know anything about the founder of Qinghe?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

“A lot of information was lost after The Cataclysm, and only a few people in the Qinghe Group know about it. It seems that there were some secrets hidden in the history of the founder’s life experience. Everyone’s guessing that if we learn about his life, we’ll know how he became a supernatural being in the times before The Cataclysm.” Zhou Yingxue thought for a moment and said, “Frankly, everyone’s actually quite curious about this secret.”

“What’s the name of the founder?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

“He was called Ren He.” Zhou Yingxue said firmly, “But that’s not a secret anymore.”

“Let’s go, we’re heading back to the hotel.” Ren Xiaosu turned around and left.

Zhou Yingxue could only follow and say, “Then what’re we gonna do next?”

“We wait.”

…

When they returned to the hotel at night, Zhou Yingxue quietly placed a pillow on the couch for herself. With just one reserved room left, she was forced to accept that she would have to sleep on the couch.

Ren Xiaosu swaggered to the bed and lay down on it. He did not have any intentions of being gentlemanly. In a huff, Zhou Yingxue covered herself with a thin blanket.

However, Zhou Yingxue had a particularly peaceful sleep this time. It was though she was no longer worried that Ren Xiaosu would do something to her.

She slept all the way until dawn when she suddenly woke up. Then she saw Ren Xiaosu move a chair over and sit down calmly next to her. Zhou Yingxue was immediately jolted awake as she quickly wrapped herself up in the blanket. She carefully probed, “What are you doing?!”

Ren Xiaosu calmly asked, “Had a dream?”

Zhou Yingxue was stunned. “How did you know… No, I didn’t have any dreams!”

“Then what did you mean when you said those words in your sleep?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

“What did I say?”

Ren Xiaosu said with a deadpan expression, “You were saying that you wanted to kill me.”

Zhou Yingxue was so scared she almost cried. “I was just talking in my dream. Who takes the things that people say while dreaming seriously?”

Ren Xiaosu did not argue with her. He got up and said, “Go and wash up. We have business to handle.”

Zhou Yingxue quickly got out of her blanket on the couch. “What business?”

“We have a mission.”

A text message had appeared on their cell phones at the same time. “The target in Stronghold 73 is Zhou Xilong. He advocated the development of nuclear weapons and once took his subordinate’s wife for himself. He’s suspected to be protected by a superhuman. A-rank. Reward: 1 million yuan. Up to five people can work in a group for the mission, and all will receive rights to use the safe house and be protected by us upon being pursued by the enemy.”

Ren Xiaosu placed the cell phone into his pocket. He had to carry it around at all times. If he put it away in the palace, he would not receive any texts.

However, he suddenly felt that the Anjing House and the Saboteurs seemed to have a common goal in that they both had a hostile attitude towards nuclear weapons. Could there be any connection between the Anjing House and the Saboteurs? But he had not heard Yang Xiaojin mention it before.
